van der Voorn, Tom (author), van den Berg, Caroline (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Kok, Kasper (author)The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies across the world while its economic impact has cut deeper than any recession since the Second World War. Climate change is potentially an even more disruptive and complex global challenge. Climate change could cause social and economic damage far larger than that caused by COVID-19. The...journal article 2022

Kwakernaak, M.C. (author), Koel, Marijn (author), van den Berg, P.M. (author), Kelder, E.M. (author), Jager, W.F. (author)A novel protocol for the synthesis of perylene diimides (PDIs), by reacting perylene dianhydride (PDA) with aliphatic amines is reported. Full conversions were obtained at temperatures between 20 and 60 °C, using DBU as the base in DMF or DMSO. A "green"synthesis of PDIs, that runs at higher temperatures, was developed using K2CO3 in DMSO....journal article 2022

(author), van den Berg, Cathelijne W. (author), van den Berg, Bernard M. (author), Rabelink, Ton J. (author)Accumulating evidence demonstrates important roles for metabolism in cell fate determination. However, it is a challenge to assess metabolism at a spatial resolution that acknowledges both heterogeneity and cellular dynamics in its tissue microenvironment. Using a multi-omics platform to study cell-type-specific dynamics in metabolism in...journal article 2022

(author), Bijkerk, Roel (author), Koudijs, Angela (author), van der Pluijm, Loïs A.K. (author), van den Berg, Cathelijne W. (author)A common drawback of metabolic analyses of complex biological samples is the inability to consider cell-to-cell heterogeneity in the context of an organ or tissue. To overcome this limitation, we present an advanced high-spatial-resolution metabolomics approach using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI...journal article 2022

(author)While thermotolerance is an attractive trait for yeasts used in industrial ethanol production, oxygen requirements of known thermotolerant species are incompatible with process requirements. Analysis of oxygen-sufficient and oxygen-limited chemostat cultures of the facultatively fermentative, thermotolerant species Ogataea parapolymorpha...journal article 2022

(author), Kaiser, Elias (author), Vialet-Chabrand, Silvere (author), van der Ploeg, Martine (author), van Emmerik, Tim (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author)Plant transpiration accounts for about half of all terrestrial evaporation. Plants need water for many vital functions including nutrient uptake, growth and leaf cooling. The regulation of plant water transport by stomata in the leaves leads to the loss of 97% of the water that is taken up via their roots, to the atmosphere. Measuring plant...book chapter 2022

van den Berg, S.C. (author), Scharff, R.B.N. (author), Rusak, Z. (author), Wu, J. (author)We present OpenFish: an open source soft robotic fish which is optimized for speed and efficiency. The soft robotic fish uses a combination of an active and passive tail segment to accurately mimic the thunniform swimming mode. Through the implementation of a novel propulsion system that is capable of achieving higher oscillation frequencies...journal article 2022

(author), Polojärvi, Arttu (author), Puolakka, Otto (author), Willems, Tom (author)With the recent surge in development of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea, Bohai Sea and other ice-prone regions, a need has arisen for new basin tests to qualify the interaction between offshore wind turbines and sea ice. To this end, a series of model tests was performed at the Aalto ice basin as part of the SHIVER project. The tests were aimed...conference paper 2022

van den Berg, L. (author), Pronk, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)Granular sludge processes are frequently used in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. The granule buoyant density and biomass density are important parameters for the design and operation of granular sludge reactors. Different methods to measure the granule density include the pycnometer method, the Percoll density gradient method,...journal article 2022

(author)Recent studies have established the presence of nociceptive steady-state evoked potentials (SSEPs), generated in response to thermal or intra-epidermal electric stimuli. This study explores cortical sources and generation mechanisms of nociceptive SSEPs in response to intra-epidermal electric stimuli. Our method was to stimulate healthy...journal article 2022

Herrera Semenets, V. (author), Hernández-León, Raudel (author), Bustio-Martínez, Lázaro (author), van den Berg, Jan (author)Telecommunications services have become a constant in people’s lives. This has inspired fraudsters to carry out malicious activities causing economic losses to people and companies. Early detection of signs that suggest the possible occurrence of malicious activity would allow analysts to act in time and avoid unintended consequences. Modeling...conference paper 2022

Herrera-Semenets, Vitali (author), Hernández-León, Raudel (author), van den Berg, Jan (author)We live in a world that is being driven by data. This leads to challenges of extracting and analyzing knowledge from large volumes of data. An example of such a challenge is intrusion detection. Intrusion detection data sets are characterized by huge volumes, which affects the learning of the classifier. So there is a need to reduce the size...journal article 2022

Toja Ortega, S. (author), van den Berg, L. (author), Pronk, M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)In aerobic granular sludge (AGS) reactors, granules of different sizes coexist in a single reactor. Their differences in settling behaviour cause stratification in the settled granule bed. In combination with substrate concentration gradients over the reactor height during the anaerobic plug-flow feeding regime, this can result in functional...journal article 2022

van den Berg, D. (author), De Tavernier, D. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)In recent years dynamic induction control has shown great potential in reducing wake-to-turbine interaction by increasing the mixing in the wake. With these wake mixing methods the thrust force will vary in time. If applied to a floating offshore wind turbine, it will cause the platform to move. In this paper the effect of the Helix mixing...journal article 2022

van den Berg, Pepijn (author)By design, excise duties are primarily a tax which serves to generate revenue for the central government. However, when they are placed on fuels they can, from a consumer point of view, be regarded as similar to carbon taxes. Carbon pricing, and carbon taxes in particular, are often championed by experts in relation to reducing carbon emissions....master thesis 2021
